Chapter 1430: Chapter 1276: Stimulus (Please subscribe!)
Inside the conference room.
The senior executives of Qingyuan Technology were all a bit excited.
Twenty million units.
That was completely a milestone.
This miracle.
Was created by the young man in the head seat, and all they did was fulfil Tang Qing’s plan. Because of this, nearly no one in the company dared to ask for stocks or options.
Even.
Not being punished by Tang Qing.
Was already good enough.
From the moment the ’Epoch’ project was initiated, problems emerged one after another. They were mostly requesting parts from manufacturers according to the functionality requirements of the plan, while they themselves were merely in charge of the final integration.
Actually.
They were all a bit surprised.
’Epoch’ actually managed to be completed on time?
This point.
Was especially profound for those in the Technical Department.
Most of the parts.
Were produced by global corporate giants, while Qingyuan Technology’s mobile phone system had been replaced by ERV’s ’Sirius’ even before it debuted. Moreover, there was no sign of when it would be revisited.
This puzzled them a bit.
Logically.
Given Tang Qing’s personality.
Even if it was impossible to directly confront ERV, the supplier of ’Epoch’s operating system, shouldn’t he at least have an attitude of ’self-reliance’? But Tang Qing showed none of that intention.
It seemed.
He planned to keep using the ’Sirius’ system, and had merged the former system department into the deep development project based on the ’Sirius’ system, which disappointed many who harbored the ’China Dream.’
But few blamed Tang Qing for this.
ERV.
Was incredibly powerful after all!
Holding the architecture foundation of microprocessors in their hands, coupled with ’Sirius’, ERV could almost be certain to wield enormous influence in the field of mobile internet devices in the future.
To offend such a company.
Was unwise.
Besides the system.
There was also the appearance.
All of their designs had failed to get approved.
Eventually.
It took a prototype from Tang Qing himself to finalize ’Epoch’s appearance. Fortunately, the current design was considered better than their proposals by all, but the disappointment was still inevitable.
They had all put in so much effort.
The next generation ’Epoch’.
Must not come down to Tang Qing taking matters into his own hands because he deemed them incapable.
In the end.
It was the internal programs.
Which were also planned by Tang Qing.
They did the work.
And almost caused delays, which was unacceptable. Later, Tang Qing outsourced the interface optimization to other companies. In just a few days, several programs that gained their utmost respect emerged.
All this.
Made them feel.
That Tang Qing was ’cultivating’ them.
Because of this.
Everyone in the company.
Whether in Sales or Technology.
Didn’t dare to assert that like other startups, doing a good job would entitle them to options or stocks. However, the annual bonus would definitely not be small, and within Tang Qing’s business empire, they could also hold their heads high.
"As of October 24th, the total revenue of the mobile phone hardware business is 108.1 billion RMB, the total revenue from hardware peripherals is 3.1 billion RMB, and the total revenue from software business is 1.5 billion RMB..."
Each number read out.
Made everyone’s heart tremble.
A company that has been open for less than two years, has crossed the 100 billion RMB revenue threshold just less than half a year since its smartphone launch – a feat not to be taken lightly.
"The company’s total global business revenue is 115.8 billion RMB. It is estimated that by the end of this year, the total revenue can break through the 130 billion RMB mark, and ’Epoch’s shipment volume would reach 22 million units."
"..."
"Currently, various communication companies are successively launching smartphones, but due to the expansion pace of 4G network coverage, the market size will continue to grow. In the short term, it will only have a minor impact on ’Epoch.’"
"..."
"At present, the greatest threat to our ’Epoch’ among the smartphones launched by various companies is still ERV – for one thing, they have domestic advantages, and secondly, they hold the core technology of smartphones."
"..."
"It has been learned that on the 5th of next month, Zhihua Technology from Shen City will also release their own smartphones, aimed at the mid-to-low-end market, so it will not have too much impact on our market for the time being."
"..."
Tang Qing made a rare appearance.
Even though he had the information in emails.
He still reported the company’s situation, item by item. As CEO, he was under great pressure, especially now, when the market competition was about to become brutal amidst the rise of many contenders.
’Epoch’ had hardly any core technology.
Qingyuan Technology was merely a ’solution integrator’.
They prevailed with innovation.
But lacking the capability to consistently lead, any missteps would not attract criticism of Tang Qing’s vision but rather would be seen as Luo Qiang’s incompetence for ruining a good hand as the President.
"The number of apps in the Epoch Mall is increasing, many of which slow down the performance of ’Epoch’ and access some user information. We are considering setting a more detailed standard to regulate the Epoch Mall."
"..."
"Whirr..."
Luo Qiang finished speaking.
Tang Qing was the first to initiate a round of applause.
"Very well, President Luo, I believe that with everyone’s efforts, Qingyuan Technology will surely reach new heights. Twenty million units is far from our focus; I hope that behind the number two, the unit is ’billion’."
This ambition.
Shocked them as well.
Two billion.
Was truly a bold thought.
"Two billion is not an excessive number. What is a dream? It’s a dream, and if you don’t even dare to dream, don’t talk about aspirations. So, don’t be intimidated, one step at a time, eventually, we will surpass this milestone."
"Qingyuan Technology is founded on innovation, but in this aspect, we have no heritage, which makes it easy to be surpassed. This is what I hope you will always bear in mind – that the very next day, we might be outpaced by others."
"At that time, today’s achievements will only become ’early accomplishments’ in the media. Therefore, I do not plan to take a single penny of Qingyuan Technology’s profit for myself this year; all will be kept within the company."
"But not to invest in the next-generation Epoch smartphones and tablets. The future is the era of the Internet of Things, and we need to build a comprehensive ’Epoch’ product and ecosystem chain."
"Remember, we are a technology company, not just a mobile phone company."
Tang Qing.
Here.
Set the goal for Qingyuan Technology.
Selling phones?
Selling computers?
How monotonous.
Even with playing high technology, emulating Google and Apple, hoarding so much black tech, it was hardly interesting. These tasks, Tang Qing had plenty of scientists working under him, there was no need for Qingyuan Technology to meddle.
Better to be down-to-earth.
Learn from Xiaomi.
Learning from Gree.
Mix things up in other consumer devices. Manufacturing air conditioners, TVs, smartwatches, and the like – not only to make some money for himself but also to indirectly force some domestic companies to upgrade their industries.
This was an inevitable path.
Even though.
Stimulating consumption in Africa through the Mozambique and Wan Qing mining could find an outlet for Huaxia’s massive production capacity, it was not a comprehensive solution to every issue, and for the international competition of Huaxia enterprises.
Ultimately.
It still depended on them.
So, in that case.
He’d play the bad guy.
And give them a bit of a stimulus.
